Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

"Secretary Zhang, she was the one who committed fraud," said Wang Baogang.

"Xiao Wang, what you said is wrong. Who would come out to commit fraud in such a cold weather? If you hit someone, you have to pay compensation. You can't always try to escape. Let's put it this way. We are all acquaintances. I will make the decision for you. You just have to pay a small amount of money, a hundred yuan," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Secretary Zhang, isn't it inappropriate for you to say that? What's her problem? Do you want me to pay you a hundred yuan? Besides, who would carry a hundred yuan on them? I'll give her five yuan for your sake," said Wang Baogang.

"Sister Hua. Five dollars is fine, any amount is too much," Liu Mei said from behind.

"I want a bicycle? What do I need a bicycle for? I don't know how to ride one," said Zhang Cuihua.

"I can ride," Meng Wutong said.

"Xiao Wang, let's do this. Leave the bicycle here and you can go. Let's do it this way," said Zhang Cuihua, waving her fat hand.

Wang Baogang has now realized that this group of women are here to cause trouble. It must be that the fat guy Zhang failed in his nephew's marriage proposal and blamed himself.

"Secretary Zhang, I can take out five dollars. It's not because I'm afraid of you or because I feel guilty. I just don't want to get entangled with you. You still want the bicycle? Isn't that too much?" Wang Baogang also frowned.

"Old Chen, are we going too far?" Zhang Cuihua asked Sister Chen.

"It's not excessive at all. It's this Xiao Wang who is too much. He hit someone and didn't pay compensation. His attitude is so arrogant. Why don't we send him to the factory security department?" said Sister Chen.

When Wang Baogang heard about the security department issue, he also heard from Chen Jie that the fat guy who was in the lead and the thin woman had connections in the factory. He didn't want to get entangled with them here anymore, so he struggled to break free from Qian Ying's hands that were holding his legs, and tried to leave by pushing his bicycle.

"He dares to escape? Beat him!" Zhang Cuihua gave an order and several women surrounded him.

Wang Baogang used the front wheel of his bicycle to bump the enemy back and forth a few times, creating a gap in the encirclement. He then got on his bike and tried to leave.

At this moment, Zhang Cuihua and Sister Chen took out two bags of things from their pockets and threw them on Wang Baogang's face. Suddenly Wang Baogang couldn't see. He didn't dare to open his eyes. He smelled it and found it was lime powder. If this thing came into contact with water, his eyes would be blinded.

Wang Baogang didn't dare to move, but the women didn't let him go. They rushed over, pinned him to the ground, tied him up, put him on a bicycle, and pushed him to the Red Star Police Station.

"Sister Hua" Cao Lianbiao came forward and whispered a few words to Zhang Cuihua, then cleaned the lime powder off Wang Baogang's face and locked him up. The police told Wang Baogang that he had caused a traffic accident and assaulted others, and that they would deal with him further tomorrow.

"I caused a traffic accident and beat someone up? Are you all blind?" Wang Baogang was furious at the police's words. He thought to himself, this fat man is so hateful. Isn't it just that your nephew has taken a fancy to Chen Hong? Can't you wait for two more days? I will get the information in two days. Who will care about Chen Hong?

Zhang Cuihua and others sent the person to the Hongxing Police Station and then went home. However, Cao Lianbiao from the police station personally led people to an ambush near the dead mailbox where Wang Baogang had placed the information, while the director Liang Fei stayed in the police station.

Hard work pays off. Cao Lianbiao and others made a major discovery around 9:30 in the evening. A middle-aged man in his forties happened to have his shoe laces untied when he passed by the dead mailbox. When he squatted down to tie his shoelaces, he looked around and did not see anyone passing by, so he reached out to a brick in the corner.

At this time, four police officers jumped down from the wall and pressed him down tightly. The middle-aged man knew that he was finished.

Chapter 370 Director Chen’s Request

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Zhang Cuihua returned to Compound No. 95 from the police station. After she entered the compound, she happened to meet Yan Bugui who came out to exchange coal briquettes.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, your Banggeng and Xiaozheng are fine now. Although they broke the man's eyes and head, they are fine now. Banggeng and Xiaozheng invited professional people who understand the law to the factory. The principal and the other party's family members were convinced and did not dare to ask for a penny. They also apologized to Banggeng and Xiaozheng," Yan Bugui said to Zhang Cuihua.

"Old Yan, what are you talking about? Who hit whom? And the law?" Zhang Cuihua was stunned by the question.

"Who's beating whom? Banggeng and Xiaozheng beat Kangnian and Zhao Jin. Although they are young, they are not afraid of kids older than them. They have a secret weapon. They first hurt each other's eyes, and then hit each other's heads with bricks they had prepared. Sister-in-law, don't teach your children this in the future. It's easy to get into trouble," Yan Bugui said again.

"Who taught them this?" Zhang Cuihua said.

"If it's not you, then who else could it be? I saw you looking for lime powder at the gate of the yard last night. Sister-in-law, this thing is very dangerous," said Yan Bugui.

"Damn, Banggeng is thinking the same as I did?" At this moment, Zhang Cuihua suddenly felt very proud.

When she arrived at the backyard, she first looked at her little granddaughter who looked like her. She was happy for a while, and then she went to her grandson's room.

"Banggeng, did you hurt anyone with lime powder?" Zhang Cuihua asked.

"I didn't use lime powder. Lime powder can easily blind people's eyes. I used chili powder instead," said Bang Geng.

"The method that Zhuzi taught you the night before last? This Zhuzi's teaching is not good at all," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Grandma, you don't know, Uncle Damao is very educated. He actually knows the law. With just a few words, he convinced Jiang Kangnian and Zhao Jin's mother," Banggeng said admiringly.

"Really? I haven't heard that Damao knows this. But I see him reading a very thick book every day," said Zhang Cuihua.

"That's the law book. Uncle Damao said he would teach me. From now on, after I feed the geese and finish my homework, I will study law," said Banggeng.

"Go and learn." Zhang Cuihua was also a carefree person. She didn't ask anything else and just let her grandson go to bed early.

Another day, another new beginning. As soon as Zhang Cuihua arrived at the office, she was called to the factory director's office.

"Cuihua, that's right. It's confirmed that he is an enemy spy. His carrier pigeon has also been caught. The factory has also given credit for the achievement, but there are still enemy spies. For your safety, you cannot commend them publicly. This is a reward from the factory. Go back and divide it up so that everyone can have something good to eat," Li Huaide said to Zhang Cuihua with a smile.

"Thank you, uncle." Zhang Cuihua took an envelope and felt it, and she knew it contained money.

"Liu Mei, go to the workshop and call Lao Chen and Meng Wutong. The rewards have been issued," Zhang Cuihua said happily to Liu Mei when she returned to the office.

"Is there any reward?" Liu Mei asked.

"Of course there are rewards, but I don't know how to do the math. Secretary Wang, please do the math. There were seven of us yesterday. How much should each person get?" Zhang Cuihua handed the envelope to Secretary Wang, a college student.

"Sister Hua, there is a lot of money, and there are also food coupons and meat coupons," said Secretary Wang.

"I was wondering, Director Li just said that we should have something good to eat. It turns out there are meat coupons and grain coupons. Set aside some money for a meal, and the rest can be divided," said Zhang Cuihua.

Secretary Wang counted and waited for a while before Liu Mei, Chen Yin and Meng Wutong came in.

Each person got thirteen yuan and one catty of food coupons, leaving nine yuan, three catties of food coupons, and two catties of meat coupons. Everyone decided to have something good to eat.

"Don't go out to eat. The dumplings we ate last night were really life-threatening," Qian Ying said.

"That's a mission requirement, and I haven't been there. Why not let Sister Hua's son Jia Dongxu make some? He has good cooking skills, and we can eat it at home, it's delicious and filling," said Liu Mei.

Everyone agreed with Liu Mei's opinion, so the purchasing was handed over to Liu Mei and Qian Ying. Zhang Cuihua left early in the afternoon to let her son prepare in advance.

In the afternoon, just after work, Chen Jie, the director of the new workshop, found Zhang Cuihua and said, "Sister Hua, I need your help with something."

"Director Chen, is there someone in your workshop beating his wife? I'll go find him," said Zhang Cuihua.

"No, it's my Chen Hong. Wasn't Wang Baogang arrested last night? I thought of telling her when I got home at noon, but she didn't want to. She insisted that I find her a partner. Where could I find one for her? Then she thought of you proposing a match for your nephew. Don't you have dozens of nephews? Introduce them to her," said Chen Jie.

"I have dozens of nephews, but they are all young, and the oldest ones are basically married. Most of them are in their twenties, and there is not a single one who is not married," Zhang Cuihua also looked embarrassed.

"What can we do? You are a cadre of the Women's Federation. The failure of her relationship has something to do with you. You can't just ignore it," said Chen Jie.

"I didn't say I don't care. I'll ask around for you to see which family has the right one. Okay, you know that your Chen Hong's requirements are a little high, and she won't be interested in ordinary ones," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Okay, but you have to hurry." Chen Jie didn't get an immediate reply and was somewhat unhappy, but after all, Zhang Cuihua agreed to help her daughter find it, and he had an excuse when he returned home, so he accepted it.

"Sister Hua, if your nephew isn't suitable, you can introduce a younger brother to her. There are so many people in your family, is there no one suitable?" Qian Ying asked.

"You haven't met Chen Hong from Director Chen's family, right?" Zhang Cuihua asked Qian Ying.

"I haven't seen her, but I've heard of her. She's 25 years old this year?" Qian Ying asked.

"She is 25 years old, but why is she still not married at the age of 25? Have you thought about this problem?" Zhang Cuihua asked Qian Ying again.

"I haven't thought about this. Why? Maybe there is nothing suitable?" Qian Ying said.

"There is nothing wrong with what you said. It's true that there is no suitable one. But why hasn't she met the right one at the age of 25? To be honest, Chen Hong is very ordinary looking. Besides, she is the youngest in the family. Her two brothers are not around Director Chen and his wife, so it's inevitable that they spoil the child a little. Chen Hong doesn't speak much either. Of course, Chen Hong has a formal job." Zhang Cuihua introduced Chen Hong's basic situation.

"Although her conditions are average, she should be able to find a partner. Could it be that her requirements are too high?" Qian Ying discovered the problem.

"Here comes the key point. The first requirement she requires of her partner is that he must be good-looking and tall, over 1.8 meters tall; have a formal job, not someone who works in a workshop, but preferably a cadre; and his parents cannot live together, which means the man must have an independent house; and he must also be able to coax people. To be honest, among the people I know, the only one who meets these conditions is my seventh brother Zhang Dabao, but will Dabao like her?" Zhang Cuihua smiled.

Chapter 371 Liu Haizhong went to the Northwest for reform

"I understand. She's not good-looking and has a lot of problems. She's the kind of person we're talking about," Qian Ying said.

"So, for those women who cannot get married at an older age, their age is only the smallest problem. The biggest problem is that they lack self-awareness," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Sister Hua is absolutely right. She looks at things very clearly," said Liu Mei.

"It's just the general situation," Zhang Cuihua said, waving her hand.

The work in the Women's Federation is very flexible and relatively free, so at around three o'clock, several people left the factory. Zhang Cuihua went home and asked Jia Dongxu to prepare for the evening dinner in advance. Liu Mei and Qian Ying went to the market to buy things. Secretary Wang and Sister Chen from the workshop and others made an appointment to leave together after get off work.

"Invite people to dinner? There's not much food left at home, and I have to save some for Huairu to produce milk." Jia Dongxu felt a little embarrassed when he heard that his mother was going to invite people to dinner.

"Liu Mei and Qian Ying have gone to buy vegetables. They just asked you to cook for a while. You should make the dough rise early so we can make some dumplings later. You should squeeze out the moisture from the cabbage and prepare the cabbage stuffing in advance. After they buy the meat and other things, we will make dumplings and you just need to cook," Zhang Cuihua said to her son.

"You brought some food? That's good. By the way, Mom, why do you want to eat together again? Didn't we just eat together last night? And did we go to a restaurant?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"What do you know? We have made a contribution again. This is a reward from Director Li. He specially gave us food coupons and meat coupons. What do you know? Are there still goose eggs in Banggeng? Go buy a few. Don't always try to cheat the children into eating." Zhang Cuihua instructed Jia Dongxu again.

"I know. This bastard locked up all the goose eggs. I can't eat them even if I want to," Jia Dongxu replied angrily, then started to prepare the dough and pack the cabbage.

About an hour later, Liu Mei and Qian Ying arrived first, bringing two pounds of meat, some eggs, peanuts, a piece of tofu, a dozen potatoes, and four or five white radishes.

When it was time to get off work, Sister Chen and the others also came. They all went to see the little granddaughter who looked like Zhang Cuihua. They also gave each of them a one-dollar gift. After they came out, they all said that she looked like Sister Hua and was very beautiful.

After the women arrived, Jia Dongxu quickly processed the meat and prepared the dumpling filling. Several women began to make dumplings while Jia Dongxu cooked in the kitchen outside. While cooking, he listened to the people inside talking, and naturally he could not avoid the topic of Chen Hong.

Jia Dongxu knew Chen Hong. When he first joined the factory, he and Chen Jie worked in the same workshop. At that time, Chen Hong was only 16 or 17 years old. Sometimes she would go to deliver food to her father. At that time, Jia Dongxu knew her. She was very ugly and arrogant. He didn't even look at Jia Dongxu, who had just joined the factory. He didn't expect that after 18 years, she was still not married.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu came back very late today. They went to the Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau with their mother, and the matter of Liu Haizhong finally came to a conclusion.

After the public security investigation, Liu Haizhong was not an enemy spy, but he ate and drank with the enemy spies every day, was corrupted by them, and followed their arrangements to disrupt the factory, thereby restraining the defense forces and allowing the enemy spies to destroy the new workshop. Finally, he was sentenced to seven years in prison and sent to the northwest for reform.

When Liu Haizhong saw his wife and two little sons who came to see him off, he didn't say a word. Or maybe he didn't know what to say. He just glanced at the three of them and lowered his head.

Second Aunt, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were not sad either, because Liu Haizhong had caused them so much harm, and perhaps it would be better for everyone if he passed away.

Liu Haizhong decided to leave, and the second aunt was a little scared to be alone at home, so Liu Guangfu moved back to the backyard from the back house, while Liu Guangtian lived alone in the back house. Although there was no sunlight there, it was where he lived in his most difficult times. It was the house allocated to him by the street office, and he wanted to start a family here, so Liu Guangtian did not move back.

Liu Haizhong went to the northwest today, and the three of them felt a lot more relaxed, so Second Aunt fried eggs and boiled radishes for them, and the three of them improved their lives.

Those who came to eat at the Jia family were all women. No one drank alcohol, so they ate quickly. Around 7:30, they were full. Zhang Cuihua saw that there were still a lot of dumplings left, so she asked Jia Dongxu to send a bowl to Zhang Lianhua, and also called Qin Jingru to eat, and asked Jingshu to eat some more.

Zhang Cuihua went to the gate of the hospital to see her colleagues off.

"Sister-in-law, are you treating us again today?" Yan Bugui went out and saw Zhang Cuihua coming back, so he went over to ask.

"Today is a team-building event. Colleagues should get together more often to enhance their relationships with each other," Zhang Cuihua said casually.

"That requires something, sister-in-law. Your life is better now. But the life of Old Liu's family in the old courtyard is temporarily in trouble. Old Liu was sent to the northwest for reform today. Guangtian is the only one in the family who earns money. Alas!" Yan Bugui sighed.

"Liu Hai was sentenced? Isn't he an enemy spy? Why wasn't he shot?" Zhang Cuihua became interested when she heard the news.

"Old Liu is not an enemy spy, he was just used by the enemy spies. He was sentenced to seven years and sent to the northwest. I don't know if he can meet Jie Cheng." When Yan Bugui said this, his eyes suddenly felt sore. He thought of his eldest son, who had been in the northwest for such a long time without any news, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. He felt sad, took off his glasses, wiped them, and went back to the house.

Jia Dongxu put the dumplings down for Zhang Lianhua, called Xiaodang, Qin Jingru, and Jingshu and asked them to go to the backyard to eat. Just as they were about to go to eat, they saw Liu Guangtian coming back from the backyard after eating.

"Brother Dongxu" Liu Guangtian greeted him.

"Uncle Guang is leaving today?" Jia Dongxu asked.
